Lol no I'm glad vita is selling. But I guess you and others wouldn't mind if people spouted "3DS is the king! it's number 1! let's celebrate with champaign!" Each week when the 3DS was outselling Vita?

But they did(Beastmode) and you are one of the people that highlight great 3DS sales every week and let everyone know its still in first place and software sales are good. I think you only have a problem because its vita and not 3DS that he is championing.

Maybe hardware sales will be more front loaded going forward. Those who are in the market for 3DS already have it. Pokemon X/Y sold according to expectations gen over gen, I think it's safe to say this is an indication of some kind of consistency in this mess of a generation. We know that there's a market for mainline Pokemon on a Nintendo handheld and maybe Nintendo handheld sales will stabilize at around 50M per cycle. To me this is enough to sustain a Nintendo platform as a niche product, while the company is branching outward into other industries in search for growth.

You do know the vita was declared dead and was a laughing stock for a very long time. People had no problem mentioning this for the billionth time. I understand why Dave or other members might feel the need to share their thoughts when things look up a bit.

Yeah. After all the bombing, how low will just dance go? The first was a sucess, but the second already did half the sales of the first... I dont know. Maybe 50k Ltd? At least nintendo is releasing something. I will get the game though, haha

Ah, its the forum backseat modding that I love from the denizens of this topic. Pro-tip: You are not the NeoGAF police and if this all irks you so much, time to take a step back.

The Japan tax thing is probably the go to "what is this week" factor, but seeing the Vita pass the 3DS must still feel pretty odd at Nintendo HQ when its also the week of a Mario franchisee. They're being awfully quiet on all fronts right now.

Haha no, I'm just tired that it's more or less the same poster that writes "Vita is the champion! It's up YoY while the other ones are dead in its track" kind of snarky comments. It would be fine if he simply said "good that vita sales are up!"

Snarky? Thats just factual, Vita is up YoY while everything else is down. For months people have been saying that the Vita was having a nice run but would eventually go down YoY because of a supposedly weaker lineup and last year being the price cut. Hasn't happened yet.

You mean 50M worldwide? Pardon me not remembering exact figures, but if that will be the LTD, that would definitely be a drop in comparison to the DS. I think it will sell more than that, but if it doesn't happen, those are still good enough numbers. As in enough of a market to sell full priced games.

Man, that's all that matters. I don't want to sound predictable, but is that really mobiles' doing?

There is an ignore facility. I don't get why people don't use it if they're THAT irked about someones posts. I quite enjoy coming into these threads as it's kind of like watching a playground fight at school - loads of swings, no real punches landed.

Last week's sales bump is more likely related to spring holidays/graduation presents, etc. It's usually a decent couple of weeks thanks to that. This week will be the one we see the consumption tax effect going on.
